Smooth cab. Fruit on the nose and no tannin. Nice green aftertaste that lingers.

Beautiful wine, well balanced. Olive and cedar nose. Rich plum, black currant and blackberry fruit. Velvet, slightly tight leather finish. Very nice food wine.

BlackBerry early finishing with mocha and earthy leather tastes. Tannins have mellowed and this bottle was drinking fantastic. Paired with grilled lamb lollipops.

Deep red, nearly purple, maybe the slightest signs of bricking. Dark fruit. Chocolate. Licorice. Some herbal/spices notes. Feels thick, tannins have mostly rounded out, but still have some bite.

My favorite wine at the Cakebread Cellars Winery. A great nose of blackberry and boisenberry with a fantastically delicious finish. One of my favorites in Napa
